Whatever type of personal injury you have experienced, at Russell & Lazarus, we do not believe you should be left on your own to try and pick up the pieces of your life. We believe you should have the strongest advocate in your corner: the Russell & Lazarus APC personal injury attorneys. We believe you will be best served by the individual attention we provide to our select group of clients. The Russell & Lazarus APC attorneys are waiting to assist you in any of the following personal injury areas:

• Slip-and-fall accidents occur when a property owner does not take the required steps to ensure visitors’ safety. A slip-and-fall injury can be severe, requiring lengthy medical care and possibly preventing you from returning to work. If a business owner or employee knows about a hazard but fails to warn visitors or correct it, and an accident occurs, liability is clear. Slip-and-fall accidents most often occur in grocery stores, retail stores, restaurants, nightclubs, parking lots, stairways, and sidewalks.
• In California, dog owners are liable for injuries their dog inflicts on you, whether you are in a public place or lawfully in a private place, regardless of whether the owner knew of the dog’s propensity to bite. A dog bite can result in serious injury to the victim, causing physical and emotional trauma.
• Elder abuse or nursing home abuse occurs when those who are charged with caring for an older adult abuse the trust placed in them. They may be overtly abusive or could neglect the senior’s basic needs. It is heartbreaking when your elderly loved one suffers abuse or neglect, requiring an experienced Russell & Lazarus personal injury attorney to advocate on the senior’s behalf.
• Amusement park accidents happen more often than you might think and can result from equipment malfunction or the negligence of an employee, contractor, or temporary worker. Responsibility for the accident may fall to the amusement park owner, a third-party contractor, or the manufacturer of the faulty equipment.
• Brain and spinal cord injuries can occur as a result of many different types of accidents, with often devastating effects. When a spinal cord injury is severe, or a brain injury is traumatic, the victim could require continuous medical treatment and care—for many months, or perhaps even for the remainder of their life. The victim’s normal enjoyment of life could be significantly reduced, and they could lose their ability to work. The expenses related to a traumatic brain injury or a spinal cord injury can be astronomical, making it even more important to have a highly experienced personal injury attorney on your side.
• Catastrophic injuries are those that are permanent, leaving a permanent disability or disfigurement for the victim to deal with. Because the injuries are so severe, the stakes are extremely high. Catastrophic injury claims bring unique issues and require extensive, comprehensive investigation and preparation. You may need medical and economic experts to support your personal injury claim.
• Pedestrian accidents can happen to those on foot, on a skateboard, or on roller skates. Because a pedestrian has absolutely no protection, these types of accidents often leave the victim with severe, even life-threatening injuries that will require months, years, or a lifetime of medical assistance.
• While train and airplane accidents may not be nearly as common as other types of personal injuries, they can leave devastation in their wake, requiring a highly experienced personal injury or wrongful death attorney to advocate for the victims.

In the end, accidents can happen anywhere, at any time. Our Orange County personal injury attorneys help victims of boating accidents, swimming pool accidents, and construction accidents, as well as the types of accidents listed above.
